Zusammenfassung:Described herein is a device and method for translocating a protein through a nanopore and monitoring electronic changes caused by different amino acids in the protein. The device comprises a nanopore in a membrane, an amplifier for providing a voltage between the cis side and trans side of the membrane, and an NTP driven unfoldase which processed the protein to be trans-located. The exemplified unfoldase is the ClpX unfoldase from E. coli.
